A Seriously Broken Rolex Watch Replica

Recommended Posts

As a replica watch enthusiast I share my passion with a few close friends. And when I realized my best bud’s Tom birthday was coming up, I knew the perfect gift to get him would be a Rolex watch replica, since he is such a huge fan of the brand. But as you probably know yourself, finding a good quality fake is easier said than done. The simplest way to go about this would be to order from websites I already know deliver good quality products like anchor>Perfect Watches, but you know me I’m quite an adventurer of sorts. So I decided to take my business instead to AboutRolex.me – a replica website I’ve been meaning to try for quite some time now.Quality: Are These Watches Any Good?

The original Rolex Daytona was introduced in 1963 and it was a timepiece that aimed to fulfill the needs of professional racing drivers. But this didn’t keep the watch from getting a lot of attention from those who weren’t in the professional automotive industry. As you can see, the Rolex watch replica alternative has big shoes to fill.

The Rolex Daytona replica I got is an entirely different story. It looked fairly good when I received it and I was quite satisfied with how it worked, albeit it had a Japanese movement on the inside. Things took a turn for the worse when I decided to try it on myself. At the end of the day I distractedly took off the watch from my wrist, but in my absent mindedness managed to drop it on the wooden floor.

Did the Rolex Daytona replica survive the crash? Barely and with a horrible broken front glass. You can see the result above. Surely it was my fault for dropping it, but if the quality of the watch would have been higher, none of this would have happened. Certainly the glass is not sapphire, as advertised on the website.The Site: Usability and Design

The website is pretty standard for web shop selling fake Rolex watches and the like. You can browse by brand or using the search bar located on the top right. Some weird sketches greet you when you first load up the web page, but let’s be fair and say it’s pretty easy to browse around and find what you’re looking for. Pics are watermarked with AboutRolex.me but don’t show images of the real products. This is a big warning sign.

Is It Fast and Reliable?

Ok, so these guys were lying about using sapphire crystal, but at least they didn’t lie about how long it takes to get the Rolex watch replica delivered to your door step. It took about a week and a half for the watch to arrive. Well I paid $16 extra, so at least that wasn’t in vain.

Return Policy: Is It Reasonable?

There’s no live chat feature so I had to drop them an email calling them out about the sapphire crystal affair. The response was as anticipated – radio silence. I don’t suppose they will want to replace my watch, because technically I dropped it on the floor, so it’s my fault. On top of that, their policy requires you to make a request to return the product within 24 hours from the date of signature. Quite unreasonable.

The Bottom Line

In the end I have to say I deeply regret ordering this Rolex watch replica. Naturally I can’t offer it to my friend Tom nor can I wear it myself. I’ll just have to throw it in the garbage and try to forget about the whole affair.
